until Binghamton on Monday.

I have seen some signs that we could do what we're supposed to do, which is win by 20+.

Playing these teams with their Q4 rankings, we have to win blow outs, or else we lose points in the computer rankings.

Part of the reason the ACC has been getting 4 instead of 7 or 8 bids to the NCAAs these past few years is because we are not running up the score in pre-season tomato can games, and the SEC and B1G most certainly do.

That's the difference, and how many bids conferences are going to get will be pretty much determined by Christmas.

I hate that about the NCAA, these past few years.  Computer rankings have become too powerful.  They distort reality, according to your choices in the algorithm.

But there is no doubt.  The season begins now, and they can't sleepwalk their way into the game.  They have to come out with purpose, and get up by 10 points early, to set the tone.

They have to play Big Boy Ball and stuff it down their throats until their front line players are all in foul trouble.  That's how we get back to the Tournament, folks.

I am holding my breath, hoping for the best.
